Empty lists and grids

If there are no items to be displayed in a list or grid, the pane contains a text informing the user about the empty list.

Figure 5-2.

Empty list.

Depending on the case, it may be justified to prompt the user to create the first item for an empty list.

List browsing

In a list, browsing is possible in two directions: pressing scroll up key moves the focus one step up (backward), and pressing scroll down moves the focus one step down (forward).

When browsing, the item in focus must always be visible. The detailed rules of moving the focus are as follows:

If the choice item that is becoming focused is already fully visible, all the items stay in their current positions, and highlight is moved from the old item to the new item.
